“…However, a significant Group x Task Intensity x Music condition interaction effect revealed that motivational music affected RPE only among associators during the high-intensity condition. As well as not being concordant with our research hypothesis, this finding is inconsistent with theories deriving from the information processing approach to attention (e.g., Rejeski, 1985;Tenenbaum, 2001) and with previous research, which has shown that music has a greater influence on RPE at lowto-moderate intensity levels (e.g., Razon et al, 2009). Moreover, we had hypothesized that dissociators would derive greater psychophysical benefit from the presence of music than both associators and switchers.…”

“…Thus Tenenbaum's (2001) model was supported by the present findings. These findings are in keeping with with other research (e.g., Hutchinson & Tenenbaum, 2007;Razon et al, 2009) that has demonstrated an attentional shift, where internal, sensory cues begin to dominate attentional focus as exercise intensity increases. The present finding advances the extant literature by demonstrating that this shift occurs regardless of DAS.…”

“…Music also has a related psychophysical effect, in that it influences the exerciser's subjective perception of effort and fatigue, although such reductions only appear to manifest at low-to-moderate exercise intensities (e.g., Razon, Basevitch, Land, Thompson, & Tenenbaum, 2009). Whether such effects are consistent across participants with differing attentional styles has, to date, been solely a matter of speculation among researchers (Hutchinson et al, 2011;Karageorghis & Priest, 2012b).…”

“…State attentional focus (SAF) was assessed using Tammen's (1996) single-item Attention Scale, following procedures detailed by Razon et al (2009). RPE was assessed by means of Borg's (1998) 11-point scale with ratio properties.…”

We examined independent and combined influences of asynchronous music and dominant attentional style (DAS) on psychological and psychophysical variables during exercise using mixed methods. Participants (N = 34) were grouped according to DAS and completed treadmill runs at three intensities (low, moderate, high) crossed with three music conditions (motivational, oudeterous, no-music control). State attentional focus shifted from dissociative to associative with increasing intensity and was most aligned with DAS during moderate-intensity exercise.Both music conditions facilitated dissociation at low-to-moderate intensities. At high exercise intensity, both music conditions were associated with reduced RPE among participants with an associative DAS. Dissociators reported higher RPE overall during moderate and high intensities.Psychological responses were most positive in the motivational condition, followed by oudeterous and control. Findings illustrate the relevance of individual differences in DAS as well as task intensity and duration when selecting music for exercise.

“…The participants were fully informed about the distinction between associative and dissociative thoughts and completed a brief questionnaire before starting each run to ensure that they were able to distinguish between the two, as suggested by Baden et al [4]. The reliability and validity of these scales have been reported in previous studies [8,27].…”

Listening to Music in the First, but not the Last 1.5 km of a 5-km Running Trial Alters Pacing Strategy and Improves Performance

et al. 2012

We examined the effects of listening to music on attentional focus, rating of perceived exertion (RPE), pacing strategy and performance during a simulated 5-km running race.Fifteen participants performed two controlled trials to establish their best baseline time, followed by two counterbalanced experimental trials during which they listened to music during the first (M start ) or the last (M finish ) 1.5 km. The mean running velocity during the first 1.5-km was significantly higher in M start than in the fastest control condition (p < 0.05), but there was no difference in velocity between conditions during the last 1.5 km (p > 0.05). The faster first 1.5 m in M start was accompanied by a reduction in associative thoughts compared with the fastest control condition. There were no significant differences in RPE between conditions (p > 0.05). These results suggest that listening to music at the beginning of a trial may draw the attentional focus away from internal sensations of fatigue to thoughts about the external environment. However, along with the reduction in associative thoughts and the increase in running velocity while listening to music, the RPE increased linearly and similarly under all conditions, suggesting that the change in velocity throughout the race may be to maintain a same rate of RPE increase.

Balance control is impaired by mental fatigue due to the fulfilment of a continuous cognitive task or by the watching of a documentary

et al. 2020

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of mental fatigue (MF) induced by a 90-min continuous demanding cognitive task on balance control. Twenty healthy young participants were recruited. They had to perform three postural tasks (on a stable support with eyes open, with eyes closed and on a wobble board) while standing on a force platform before and after watching a documentary in a control condition or carrying out a prolonged continuous demanding cognitive task (AX-continuous performance test-AX-CPT) in a MF condition. Results showed that performing the AX-CPT generated MF since participants felt a higher subjective workload from the NASA Task Load Index after the AX-CPT than after viewing the documentary. Both the AX-CPT and the viewing of the documentary impaired balance control, mainly by affecting postural regulatory mechanisms which evolved towards a less automatic and less complex regulation mode with an increased participation of cognitive resources. MF generated by the AX-CPT affected balance control by compromising the attentional processing, while the deleterious influence of watching a documentary on postural control could stem from an adverse effect of prolonged sitting on balance control during subsequent standing.
